Profile:
The honour of opening the innings in India's first Test at Lord's in
1932 rightly belongs to Naoomal Jeoomal. For he had the qualities of a
good opening batsman. Technically well equipped, Naoomal was a
diminutive batsman whose forte was an organised defence and intense
concentration. But he was also a player who looked for runs, mainly
via the drive and the cut. He was a fine fielder, could keep wickets
more than adequately in an emergency and was a left arm slow bowler
capable of taking more than 100 wickets in first class cricket. In the
only Test in 1932 Naoomal impressed in scoring 33 and 25. On the tour
of England he was a success making 1297 runs (30.88). In his next
Test, against England at Calcutta in 1933-34 Naoomal made 43 in the
second innings, sharing a 57-run partnership with Mushtaq Ali - the
first 50 run stand for the opening wicket for India. In the next Test
at Madras, however, he edged a ball from `Nobby' Clark on to his head
and could take no further part in the match.
That in effect was the
end of Naoomal's Test career. But he remained a pillar of strength for Sind
for about two decades and in 1938-39 hit his career best, 203 not out
against Nawanagar in the Ranji Trophy. In first class cricket, he
scored a little over 4000 runs at an average of 33.5 with seven
centuries.(Partab Ramchand)
